Naming a country song your song of the year is dumb as hell even before it comes out the artist is super racist.

You can especially see it in the speed drawing episodes where they all get a chance to really flex their skill and talk about process and stuff but every episode is a few talented friends genuinely having a good time together. Plus we can always count on one of them to ruin Pokemon for everyone.

That came up recently with Apex Legends, the writers wanted the new Australian character to say oval office, and the UK/AUS ratings boards were fine with that in a T for Teen game, but the American ratings board blocked it

Dapper_Swindler posted:that makes me curious how the British/Australian ratings board rates language like that. like i know over there "oval office" isnt as bad as in the US and poo poo. In New Zealand, where I live, the ratings system goes like this: G - General, so family films, kids' movies, etc. PG - Parental Guidance. The odd "poo poo" might sneak in here, like Tim Burton's Batman. M - Most PG-13 and soft R films tend to end up here. The Dark Knight trilogy are all rated M, as is The Matrix or Ghost World (this is also the lowest rating that I've seen for a film where a character drops that word). After that, you get the Rs. R13, R15, R16 and R18. The number, as you'd probably have guessed, is how old one needs to be to view the films legally. You can more or less cite a film where someone says "oval office" at least once for any of these ratings. You can also occasionally find films with an RP restriction, where they're nominally restricted to persons aged XX, but can be viewed by someone below that age if there is parental supervision. It's rarely, if ever, used, and I've only ever seen it on The Shawshank Redemption. The R rating essentially acts like the American R or the "A" rating that Siskel and Ebert often advocated for, as an alternative to the NC-17 rating.

The NC-17 is like the AO rating for games; the reason why you don't see it much is because most theaters/retailers won't carry it, and when you can't sell your stuff at Wal-Mart and Best-Buy, that's a big stream of income just out the window, so they'll edit it down. The R rating is in similar boat. Distributors or producers will trim it down to a PG-13 in order to maximize audiences, since with an R rating, children and teenagers aren't allowed to get in unless with an adult. In the end, it's less about content, and more about money. Grapplejack posted:With the death of theaters I actually wonder if we're going to see A movies become a real thing, since theaters were pushing hard against that. That's a good question. I'd have to think ratings would have less of an impact, but I still have to think there'd be some restrictions in place.

I do not understand how G/PG/NC/R/X makes more sense than just saying 6/12/16/18 which is how we did it here in holland. Then again maybe my country is just not very imaginative. (and sometimes PG13 movies just get shoved to age 16)

That's one of the main differences between NZ and Australia's R18 and the NC-17 - major cinema chains carry R18 films and it's not exactly commercial death here either, nor are major retail chains like JB Hi-Fi or online retailers like Mighty Ape afraid to carry them. Off the top of my head, Dredd (rated R18) and Mad Max: Fury Road (R16) did as well as they could in NZ cinemas. Dredd was helped by having Karl Urban, a good Kiwi lad, in the lead role.

The OFLC usually publishes a summary of their decisions. Here's why Saving Private Ryan got a specially created R15 instead of its original R16: quote:"Saving Private Ryan deals with matters such as horror, cruelty and violence in terms of s.3(1). Nothing in this film falls within s.3(2). The Board gave “particular weight” to the extent and degree to which, and the manner in which, the film describes, depicts, or otherwise deals with “[a]cts of torture, the infliction of serious physical harm, or acts of significant cruelty” in s.3(3)(a)(i). There are many such scenes in the film. The Board also considered the matters in s.3(4). These include the extraordinarily powerful emotional effect of the film, its cinematic impact (which would be significantly greater than in video format because of more visual detail), its importance as an educational and cultural memoire of the sacrifices made in World War II, and its importance as an example of a well-made film in the war movie genre. They're also incredibly open and accessible (they regularly attend the Media Teachers' conference that happens every other year and hold Professional Development sessions, for example). They key thing is that they consider the creator's intent, the context, and the likelihood for "harm."

Something I read recently mentioned that in the UK (or maybe it's just England specificially) that late-night televised content either shows way more explicit stuff than you see in the US or it's aired at an earlier hour or something (I don't remember what it was exactly). I guess it just comes down to who's in charge of is and isn't allowed.

And utterly despise that there's finally an R18+ rating for games now so they can't arbitrarily ban titles anymore at their pleasure because it has a bit of blood in it.Arcsquad12 posted:You'll need a fake license to watch ultra-porn.

I've only played one Call of Duty all the way through (Call of Duty 2, I think) which wasn't bad, but I found to be mostly dull, and it made me want to play Wolfenstein 2009 (unfortunately, you can't get for PC anymore). I also played the beta or something for Black Ops 3 on PS4, but that also didn't leave a big impression. COD Warzone I thought was pretty thrilling from watching Maximilian Dood play during a few streams, but I couldn't survive for very long in the brief time I played it. It also didn't help that the game install size is obscenely huge, and I had to make a paging file for memory just to keep it from crashing. If I was going to play a military shooter, I'd play ARMA 3, since I have a penchant for slower-paced, tactical shooters like the classic Rainbow Six games and SWAT 4. I'd play ARMA 3 if I could figure out why it always runs so poorly. Plus, you can do cool orky  stuff like this with mods.Dapper_Swindler posted:i mean with the internet/streaming/steam, its easy as gently caress to sell the porn game and than have the porn part downloadble on a different site OR vice versa. also the goverment or parents groups no longer give a poo poo about games any more to fight it since little timmy is too busy screaming the "gamer word" while playing fortnite. the real thing is no porn game would get console sales because the manufactures don't want it. so basicaly you can have soft core elements in your game but no hard core poo poo. That is (or maybe was, since the market's may have changed) the case in Japan. The majority of titles for PC were mainly eroge titles, with the notable exceptions being stuff like Ys and...I dunno, Touhou, I guess? However, I remember that some of those games did get censored releases for consoles. Also yeah, a lot of the VNs and stuff on Steam sell what are essentially 'censored' games through Steam directly, but then will link 'decensored' patches to download from their site or elsewhere, which is honestly pretty clever. It seems like there are some games that don't seem to be censored at all, though, so maybe Steam has lightened their policies somewhat. However, there was an incident/scare from a couple of years ago, where a bunch of adult games (mostly anime games) were going to be removed, but it never came to pass. (Sterling did a video on it)

For context, the "sex and violence intersecting in any way" R18+ Hammer has been brought down on things like "Someone groped a titty in an anime RPG game. Once. In a cutscene. In a 30/50 hour game".
